of the semi-well-to-do German woman,
and shows a decided German accent
in her conversation. She is low in
stature, and has a decidedly Teutonic
cast of countenance. She wore black
straw hat trimmed with black gros-
grain ribbon, with serrated white
border and three black ostrich plumes.
Her dress was of black cashmere I'M
relieved by any trimmings, and she
wore black cashmere shawl which
she effectively used to screen her face
from the inquisitive glances of the
court officials, witnesses and reporters.
In reply to a severe cross-examination
by Post-Dispatch reporter, an ex-
animation rendered necessary by the
fact that she was disposed to volunteer
no superfuous information, she said
in her broken language:
II was in Dan Morrische's booth
when the carriage passed, and | did
Not know then who was in it. L was
making pancakes, and this one slip
ped from my hands and few into the
carriage l don't know how it hap
pened. | did not intend to throw il"
She then began to ask the reporter
questions which he found very en-
barrassing.
"Who sent you here ?"
The reporter lodged under that
one by return question of "Where
were you when the pancake slipped
from your hands ?"
81 was in the booth. Who sent
you here ?"
Chow did the pancake come to
slip p ignoring her pointed question.
"Who sent you here ?" was her an
swer, and as the reporter could not
get anything else from her he confess
ed reluctantly that he was from the
Post-Dispatch. The confession effect
lively ended the conference, as Mrs.
Sax positively refused to answer any
more questions. The reporter learn
ed, however, that she was employed
as cook by D. and j. E. Morische at
their booth at the fair grounds, and
that her name was probably Knox,
instead of Sax.
After disposing of several minor
cases this morning the clerk OF the
Second District Court came to the
name of Anna Sax and announced it
in stentorian tones. Judge White as
sumed an extra judicial air, CORFU
gated his brows thoughtfully, strOked
his goatee and ponderously settled
back in his chair with an apparent de-
termination to settle the most mo-
mentous case that he ever tried. Clerk
Healy smiled, pulled down his cuffs
and prepared himself to administer
the finest selection of oaths ever placed
before the public. The Prosecuting
Attorney looked wise and then
troubled as two of his principal wit
nesses failed to appear. After min
ute's painful reflection, he arose with
the air of a man on whose shoulders
the fate of nations rested, and re-
quested

chair and with parting glance left
the room. The officers of the court
are firm in their determination to see
the case through and summons will
be issued for Messrs. Lanham and
Hotter.

There is a church in Boston the
tower of which is not owned by the
society that owns the church. 1t is
the BrattIe Square church, now owned
by the First Baptist society. The
church is one of the earlier works of
Architect Richardson, and the tower,
with its frieze, colossal reliefs by Bar
tholdi, the sculptor of liberty, is such
an adornment to Commonwealth ave-
nue. that when there was prospect of
the church being torR down there was
one of the characteristic Boston move.

No Place for OratOry.

But the supreme court is no place
for ora,ory. Eloquence would be
wasted on the nine learned men who
are to be the judges both of the fact
and the law. No tricks of rhetoric,
no passionate appeals to sentiment,
will avail. A clear concise statement
of the case and brief reference to the
law is the most effective argument
before this court ; and this is generally
presented without any attempt at
forensic display. The judges frequent
ly interrogate the counselor, and he
explains obscure points in low, con-
versatienal tone of voice; and the
whole is so monotonOus and uninter-
esting that the stranger who happens
to enter rarely stays long,. l..

DEAR SIR; Where get all the back numbers Of

in them and at which date did your first article
C.P H., Wheeling w. Va
This is by no means the first re-
quest that has been received at the
World office for back numbers of
the papers containing these ency-
clopRdic communications; similar
requests nave come from all parts
of the country, which only goes to
prove, what | have always main
tanned, that newspaper readers fully
appreciate really useful information
OF any and every sort in whatever
form presented to them. 1t is no
particular credit to the writer, but
it is undeniably a fact that these
Sunday Chats" which have ap-
peared uninterruptedly for more
than a year, have covered a wide
range of useful inventions and dis
coveries-they could not well have
done otherwise. | regret that |
cannot inform my West Virginia
CORES Jondent where to obtain back
numbers of the World. A complete
file of the Sunday World for a year
past would certainly bring a good
price. There are several news
dealers in this and other cities who
keep old papers in stock, but
whether full file Of the Sunday
World could be obtained [ do not
know. Sunday Worlds are articles
a good deal like early strawberries.
They sell on sight, and there are
seldom any left over.

never yet pretended to any pro-
phetic powers. | have always kept
within the broad domain Of facts
and figures, quite large enough
realm, in my opinion, to satisfy the
pen of any practical writer. If /

cause, my logic has been apparent.

words, s'Do this and you will be
liberated from the evil which is

happiest hours of your life" | am
going to add two and two together
now. and I will then submit the
proposition to you if the result be
not four.
In the first place, permit me to
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-07-24

ask you what are catarrh and
asthma, hay fever and kindred all
ments | have written OF this sub
ject before, and if | mistake not |
have said time and again that
catarrh and asthma were simply a
poison located in the mucous mem
branes of the head. 1t is deadly
poison. and one which gains pos
session of the head in an insidious
and unperceivable manner. And
now arises the question, How shall
we eradicate this poison? You
know, without word from me, that
when a person is very i'll poison is
generated in the sick chamber and
carbolic acid is used to kill the
germs of that poison. This same
poison takes possession of the
mucous membranes of the head.
To be sure you cannot inject car
bolic acid into the head, but you
can inhale Carbolic Smoke, and by
inhaling that smoke you can as
comp letely kill the germs of catarrh,
hay fever and asthma, as by using
carbolic acid you eradicate the
poison in the sick-room. |, there
fore, make the statement that by
simply inhaling Carbolic Smoke
into the head you will cure these
awful complaints. Is not my argu-
ment logical?
